Vaseegara....

March 23, 2009

Got that lovely song, “VaseegarA”, on YouTube….

Well, that’s Jayalalitha (sorry, add another ‘a’ at the end!) with some boon companion (no, it isn’t Sasikala! )….does it, or does it not, look like a gay/lesbian rights song? I have forgotten what the original song was…can someone tell me?

The words of this song are somehow better in Hindi than in Tamizh, where they seem a little awkward….”oru pOrvakkuL iru thookkam” sounds not at all poetic!

O, one who attracts me…to sweeten my heart, all I need is to sleep in your golden lap…
At the same time, all the yearnings of my earlier sleepless births will cease…
I love, I breathe, because of your kindness….I yearn, I stagnate,in memories of you…

Heavy rains will come, we’ll get drenched; love and drying out in the cold…two sleeping in one blanket…
